I hope we get something from them today. This is the weirdest promotion strategy. Way too random and dragged out

Because not EVERYTHING that comes out of their mouths is related to music. It was an interview for Oakland Coffee to promote their coffee brand.

Maybe he meant it as like a hint to his friends and family that he wants a lot of gifts? I've said the whole "hint hint" thing before about many different things.

Billie just posted about pinhead gunpowder. Definitely not getting any new green day related things today

No way the album or EP or whatever you want to call it will be out on the 17th. It's way too soon. Maybe a single, but not the full thing.

Oh my goodness look how young Billie and Jason are in this photo of Pinhead Gunpowder! Photo from last.fm

Because it’s his 50th birthday and that is a huge milestone for people - nothing to do with GD plans

That interview response about his birthday was just a classic Dad joke about wanting gifts. Nothing to do with Green Day.

I wasn't referring to you. More at the thought that they couldn't just drop an album on the 17th or whatever. They absolutely can, and if they want to they will. The Network is for sure the closest thing we can point to on what to expect out of this release, at least promo wise.

They are just having fun right now. You shouldn't look at previous album cycles to gain insight on this one. It really seems like they are just doing what they want without care for the promo cycles of yesteryear.

I was going to start up on the gorgeousness of these pics but realised wrong thread but you all know anyway 😂😂

And Bill Schneider between them!

That interview on Billie's birthday didn't even feel like it was written by him at the time, was just incredibly bland and basic responses that could've been written by anyone - I think they were just trying to sell coffee

I agree, but I think of the network as another project where they were just having fun, so I was looking at the “having fun” album cycle 😄

Does anyone remember how long it was between the network first posting about MM2020 Pt 2 and the first single? And more importantly, the time between the first post and the actual release? I know the network would follow a different marketing approach than Green Day, but that could give some indication on the timeline

Maybe is delayed because it turned out to be an album? 👀

For sure, let’s keep in touch so we can meet at the show. I will probably be there around 6 pm, wanna catch 311 and Incubus.

I was all excited to fly out to LA to go to the show with my friend, but then my friend cancelled and I'm not really someone who likes to do a big journey like that alone. So if anyone wants two tickets, let me know 😄

crap I also have regular GA, hoping we can get somewhat close to the stage.

We would’ve known about it by now. Even with the one-off singles we got in the past year, they posted ahead of time, saying, “Hey we got a new song on Friday.”

In that case, it seems unlikely to me that they'd announce a new single to premiere there.

Of course, it definitely isn't a coincidence. But I'm starting to think that the whole birthday thing doesn't neccessarily need to be the exact day of.

I had heard the band had a whole other album already done by the time FOAM released. Not saying this is that, but just pointing out they have a lot of stuff that we have never heard. At this point in their career, I cannot imagine the band is still at a linear process of "Write, demo, record, mix, master, release" and repeat.

Heard the last 20 seconds of When I Come Around today at Applebee's. So there's that.

Haha, i did actually dream something once I was sitting with Mike, Billie, Tre and some wierd old man ive never seen before, and we were eating mashed potatos but then suddenly the old man died.. I dont know, but i think it had something to do with the story about laurie L on kerplunk The last thing i remember is that we sat in a church, and that the Rabbit from Awesome As Fuck was there HAHA, but thats actually what i remember from that dream. nothing else

So there are three different versions of all these vinyl re-releases? 1. The individual releases sold by 1234Go Records ; 2. The different coloured vinyls that come with the subscription; and 3. An Indie Store version different to both of the above. Edit: I actually posted the photos above of the three versions but I'd forgotten Shipping to UK for five 7" = $75 (It's more than the cost to buy them!)
